Both the minor, who is the son of a government official, and the traffic head constable Ravinder Singh live in the same high-rise, reported The Times of India.

While Singh has not been arrested year, he has been booked for sexual assault.

According to cops, the incident occurred around 11 pm on Tuesday when the class IX student was returning to his apartment.

"When he was passing by Singh's apartment, the cop stopped him and started a conversation with him asking him about his school and in which class he studied. Singh suddenly kissed him on his cheek and asked him to come inside his flat and close the door. The boy rushed to his own flat and told his parents about it," circle officer II (city) Atish Kumar Singh told TOI.
"The boy has not received any injuries," he added.

Soon after the episode came to light, the boy's family filed an FIR against the policeman under sections 342 (wrongful confinement) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke break of peace) of Indian Penal Code and sections 7 and 8 (sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

"The statement of the boy has been recorded. The traffic wing where Singh is posted has also been informed," the circle officer said.

The police went on to say that Singh, a native of Muzaffarnagar, stays alone in a rented flat in Rajnagar Extension, and his wife and children live in Delhi.

Incidents of crime against minors have been increasing gradually and some states have already introduced strict laws to prevent such incidents.
